Mrs. Silvey's Kindergarten Class: Arctic Animals

What a fun, short, busy week we've had in KS! Here are some of the important things we learned...

Our literacy centers included various blends and digraphs games at ABC center, finding and writing words with blends at Write the Room center, building CVC and CCVC words and playing Roll a Power Word at Word Work center, writing about polar bears and building habitat puzzles at Theme center, reading groups with Mrs. Silvey, and reading on RAZKids at iPad center.

We continued working on composing and decomposing, writing, and reading teen numbers during Math. Please continue working on teen numbers at home with your child, as this has proven to be a very tricky skill for us!

During Writing, we learned that a professional author tells more in their writing. We used the story When Sophie Gets Angry- Really, Really Angry as a mentor text. We wrote about wheat we do when we get really angry. We sounded out our words and wrote the sounds we heard and practiced adding more to our stories. We shared our stories with our class.

In Reading, we listened to and discussed part of a story to build comprehension. We wondered about part of the story to build engagement and establish a purpose for our reading. We worked on reading independently and stretched out sounds we didn't know and used our word wall to help us with power words. Our vocabulary words we learned are assemble, contraption, participate, and startled.

We continued to practice writing uppercase letters during Phonics. We blended and segmented sounds and read and wrote CVC and CCVC words.

Looking ahead...
